Write-Ins at Woodland Dunes (Summer)
Join poet Emilie Lindemann and Fresh Water Press for a writing session inspired by the sights, sounds, and/or scents in the space near the Nature Center at Woodland Dunes. We’ll read poems by Ada Limón and Wisconsin poet Phyllis Walsh (1928-2012). Then, we’ll spend some time sitting in or moving through one of the nearby spaces. Most of the session will be dedicated to writing, so bring a notebook and your favorite writing utensil. We’ll save a few minutes for optional sharing at the end of the session.

Write-Ins at Woodland Dunes (Autumn/Winter)
This autumn, Fresh Water Press will continue to enjoy nature poetry by reading and discussing the work of significant American poets, which may include Naomi Shihab Nye, Kimberly Blaeser, and James Wright, among others. Each session will differ slightly in focus, for example, we may look at a single life form, such as trees or birds; consider Japanese forms; write a group poem; or explore themes of nature and society. Sessions will include time for writing, so bring your journal or a notebook and your favorite writing implement. Sharing is optional, but welcome. Sessions are meant for all levels of experience.
